RIPPLE EFFECT...

One drop of water in a puddle ripples to the edge of the puddle. One drop of
water in the ocean creates a ripple that spreads as far as it can, and you
never ever see how far it reaches or when it ends, only know that it spans far
more than you ever might imagine, for the waves carry that ripple to many
waters, allow it to touch numerous shore's

and that one drop may end up in its existence seeing more
of the world than can be fathomable.

In the same way, YOU are a drop in the ocean of life. You have more reach and
make more impact than you will ever possibly know of. EVERY word and action has
a cause and effect, that effect sometimes spreading and touching the hearts and
lives of people you might never have thought it would. Therefore, be careful
what you say, what you do, who you spend time with, who you allow into your
heart, for what you surround yourself with becomes a PART of you; an important
part that instigates desires and emotions that manifest as thoughts and word
and actions, that in turn can create ripples of effect that make a difference
in AND to OTHERS.

You might be only ONE, but you are more POWERFUL than you think. You have more
INFLUENCE than you know. You are watched not just by God, but by man, and
EVERYTHING you are and do has an EFFECT, a change that can be positive or
negative. You want your life to make a DIFFERENCE, a POSITIVE impact that
inspires others to a BETTER life and motivating them to be FULFILLED their
potential and become ALL that they can be.

REMEMBER ALWAYS~MY LORD JESUS CHRIST MADE THE BIGGEST RIPPLES. I WAS BAPTIZED IN WATER AND WHEN I STEPPED IN THE WATER.I SAW I MADE A SMALL RIPPLE. JESUS SAID TO ME.I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN TO SPLASH THE WATER.SO YOU CAN "ROCK THE BOAT NOW!! SHANNON

MY TRUTH...

I am a daughter, sister, wife and mother. When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a dancer. I was passionate, loving and full of life. But you would never believe that I was also a broken -down, self-loathing destructive girl. I hated God and the world. I did drugs, drank and had a baby at 18. You ask how you can be born with so much purpose, then become so much less? Well I’ll tell you... I was molested by my father! This one man changed me forever. Not just my body, but my mind and soul. I have never looked at the world the same since his sexual abuse; rather I've walked in this world just wondering… where do I belong? I tried to move on but the chaos of my mind couldn't understand my heart. I would cry for no reason…. love the wrong men … hated and blamed the wrong people. I was a walking mess... I was the walking dead!

Now how do you exist after becoming the walking dead? Many abused individuals, these walking dead as I was, go through life like zombies… searching for food, while actually, their souls are agonizing for love and peace. For many of us, it’s not so much that our bodies are decaying… but our souls. In our walking- dead reality, we engage in all the sins of the world, all the while looking for a glance of love or a glimmer of hope that one day we will be normal… and that we’ll be Alive! I’m not proud of what I was, nor do I like anything about it. But the devil is a liar… he tells you do not matter. Furthermore, the world doesn’t care if you are in pain, so why not drink and do drugs to help forget. And as you listen to the devil telling you he’s the one, you find yourself doing what you must to keep him. You actually come to believe, he’s what you deserve. That was me! I’d done about every sin and felt not worthy of God’s grace; still, a small part of me had faith. Looking back, I with all my heart that’s what kept me alive.

Today, I’m Alive and not in the ground because God has renewed my body, but more importantly, He renewed my soul. My life is not over, yet sometimes I wish I was for the memories can be rough. Even though I’m now renewed, ’I've lost a lot through the years. Many people who are lonely, we feel we’re the only ones feeling this way. My own shame took me away from showing love and compassion to others. That’s why we have to be aware of this crisis of abuse... If we don’t break this cycle of abuse now, how can we build strong women to choose strong men to have strong children? Let’s stop walking in this living grave yard… and stop letting the devil have our children … Shannon

DOES ANYBODY HEAR HER...

PERFECT...

ARE YOU WORN?

I’m Tired I’m worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes to keep on breathing
I’ve made mistakes
I’ve let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed by the weight of this world
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left
Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise from the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause I’m worn
I know I need to lift my eyes up
But im too weak
Life just won’t let up
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left
Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise from the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause I’m worn
My prayers are wearing thin
And I’m worn
Even before the day begins
I’m worn
I’ve lost my will to fight
I’m worn
Heaven come and flood my eyes
Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise from the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause all that’s dead inside will be reborn
Though I’m worn

THE STORM~

My Mission...

I am a renewed person by the grace of God, and as such, I want every survivor of abuse to know one thing... you don't have to go down the same road I did. I've made it through the other side of the evil and darkness... and so can you. Just know that where there is hope, there is faith... and where there is faith, there is God. Realize that your being abused in not your shame, you too can be renewed by the grace of God... you too are more than your past.
